Plato said it went under in one day and night. The rising sea levels would've taken longer than that. Also it looks like if it was the rising sea, Plato's Account would've mentioned rising sea levels, especially if it happened fast.

>>Has to be, since we all know about global warming, and how the raising sea levels are caused by cars. <<
Wrong! It clearly dissapeared because of second-hand smoke. All the burning tobacco caused a fog cloud that kept the residents of Atlantis to not see the levee rising. Their exposure to second-hand smoke caused them to not have the wind to swim to safety. Many died trying to dive to save their cigarettes.
Hmmmm,is there a blues song hidden in there somewhere? "The levee broke and my baby died trying to get me a Camel..."?

I read part of the Timaeas again and it does say that others were lost to floods, so maybe it was rising sea levels. Maybe they rose in the space of a day.

When thinking of SE Asia, think Krakatau (It's been a bad boy for a long time. 74,000 years ago it really blew it's top)

Just wondering here, but as the Ice Caps are melting (according to global warming theory) the sea levels are rising. So in the ICE age, conversely, the sea levels would be lower, no?

"So in the ICE age, conversely, the sea levels would be lower, no?" Sure, 300-500 feet lower at the height of the Ice Age. Here's one for you: After each Ice Age the water levels of the oceans are 25 feet lower that they were for each previous Ice Age. Where is that 25 feet of water worldwide going?

Excuse me, it was Toba that caused all the problems 74-75,000 years agoToba, Sumatra, Indonesia
Landsat image of Toba caldera. Image courtesy of the Landsat Pathfinder Project.
Toba caldera produced the largest eruption in the last 2 million years. The caldera is 18 x 60 miles (30 by 100 km) and has a total relief of 5,100 feet (1700 m). The caldera probably formed in stages. Large eruptions occurred 840,000, about 700,000, and 75,000 years ago. The eruption 75,000 years ago produced the Young Toba Tuff. The Young Toba Tuff was erupted from ring fractures that surround most or all of the present-day lake.

Yellowstone is another caldera, 30 miles wide that blows about every 600,000 years, and blew...about 600,000 years ago and thus is due. Do I have this right?

Where is that 25 feet of water worldwide going? Good question. Could it slowly(very slowly)cooking off into the upper atmospere vacuum,and being lost? I doubt that there's such a thing as a truly closed system-everything in the world seems to have some leakage,and I wouldn't expect any kind of ecosystem to be different.

And Plato got it third or fourth hand, so we’re lucky we have the story at all.

Yes, you are right. This is the first and only post, in the history of Free Republic that has ever challenged, anyone’s knowledge/belief system. Are you a free lance moderator?
